The Morning Psalm
Girl's name

Keturah

Incense; fragrance

Origin HebrewSay keh-TOO-ruh

Keturah was the wife Abraham took after Sarah's death, and she bore him six sons who became the fathers of many peoples of the east. Her name means incense or fragrance — sweet and rising, like the offerings of the tabernacle.

Though her mention is brief, she is part of the fulfilment of God's promise that Abraham would be the father of many nations. Her name has a rare, exotic beauty.

Keturah is a distinctive, fragrant name — uncommon and lovely for a modern child.
